There are lots of reasons why people in Manitoba should have German windows installed in their homes. Not only because they are so attractive, but also because they help reduce your heating and cooling costs. In addition, they offer energy efficiency, superior noise insulation, and easy maintenance.

As such, make use of high-quality German windows materials. Not only that, use fiberglass glazing and high-quality frames with a low R-value. This enables you to provide not only top-notch products you require, but ones which will last you for several years to come. With custom-made, double-paned doors and windows, you choose the exact size to fit your windows.

When it comes to the most important aspect of choosing German windows, it is no longer about looks. Instead, it’s all about energy efficiency. According to American National Metrologist (ANM) publications, a low R-value window that has a fiberglass window frame and panes made out of the same material as the windows are the most energy efficient. Fiberglass, natural gas, is considered by the ANM to be “the window of choice” for building codes across the country.

Not only are fiberglass German windows easy to install, but they are also considered to be very secure. A number of ANM publications list the highest ratings for these types of doors and windows. The following are a few features of these doors and windows in terms of security:

• Windows and tilt mechanisms that are operated manually or electronically. With a manual door or window opener, the door can be opened from the inside. With a door and tilt mechanism that operates electronically, the door can be tilted. With a combination of the two, the door and tilt position can be controlled from anywhere in the world.
• Fiberglass German doors and windows come in a wide range of colors and patterns. In fact, when it comes to color, American National Metrologist publications note that the choices are “decided by the whimsy of the beholder.” The following colors and patterns are currently available for the fiberglass doors and windows: * White with blue * Blue with black * Red with silver * Black with gold * Green with rose * Pink with lime green * Purple with aqua blue
• Energy efficiency rating. As mentioned above, fiberglass German windows were originally constructed to improve energy efficiency. Today, these doors and windows are among the most energy efficient in the market. An accurate down understanding of the energy efficiency rating of a door or window is imperative for the building owner or contractor since it greatly affects the price of the house.
• Durability. No matter how attractive or high quality custom windows are, without durability they are just as useless. German doors and windows are built tough to last a lifetime.
• Protection against the sun and heat. For homes facing the sun, a German National Metrologist has found that vinyl windows help to keep the heat out more effectively than a conventional paneled window. With more people living in the northern climates, protecting the interior of their home from the harmful effects of the sun and heat can be a very important issue. A new trend in the construction industry is using new technologies such as UV control that make these new doors and windows UV resistant.
• Control of tilt and turn windows. The tilt and turn windows of the past were not energy efficient. Doors and windows that tilt and turn need to be opened fully in order to let in a full breeze. However, with the new trend of vinyl, designers have found creative ways to make these doors and windows usable even when the tilt and turn mechanism are not functioning properly. The newest canopies are considered tilt and turn windows, which are known for their energy efficiency and beauty.
• Energy Efficiency. New German windows use double panes of glass, which are constructed from a single frame. This means there are two windows instead of one to provide the optimum level of insulation. Double panes and the double glass construction offer more air and light flow and allow for more efficient heating and cooling. One of the most common areas where double glazing is used is in the home, however it is also commonly used in offices, restaurants and stores.
• Protection of the property. When the house is facing south or west winds tend to make wind damage to the wooden siding and interior trim. When the house is facing north, such winds tend to cause rot and warping on the building’s surfaces. Using tilt and turn windows with locking points on both panes prevents this damage.
